About the Item

This work is from The Sound Art Drawings, a series by New York City-based artist Christopher Stout, whose pronouns are he/him or the inclusive they/them. Each work within this series of monochrome drawings is part of a genre of Contemporary Art referred to as queer abstraction. A statement of practice regarding all of Christopher Stout’s work is that it intends to surround us with the notion of radical joy and a vision of queerness as found in our imaginations. But what does the term queer abstraction mean and represent? In the artist’s own words, “I would suggest that queer abstraction might be most easily defined as activist art about the queer experience that does not employ representation of the human figure. Queer abstraction, along with Black abstraction, feminist abstraction, and even arte povera are examples of 4 distinct types of sociopolitical protest work birthed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, which primarily eschew the use of figuration. In providing additional context, painter and curator Eric Sutphin theorizes that contemporary artists practicing queer abstraction, 'are in close dialogue with their forbears, and bring to the milieu of queer abstraction a new set of social, economic, and political concerns…including a series of questions: What is the relationship between queerness and formalism? Without explicit political references, how can abstract work transmit the urgency of its content?'” … In returning the conversation to The Sound Art Drawings, each of these new drawings is premised upon a musical piece written by a queer experimental composer. Here is an exhibition statement in the artists own words, "Thank you for letting me share my work with you. I want to begin with an acknowledgement of Roger Mathew Grant, whose book, “Peculiar Attunements” has been beautifully essential in the ideation of this project. In a manner of speaking, these monochrome drawings formally highlight a long-standing working method of listening to sound art by queer composers in my studio. I enjoy an extensive library of sound art from queer composers, spanning from the late 1960’s through new genre music being composed present-day. Conceptually, I find queer sound art and queer abstraction to possess many congruencies. For each drawing, I continuously listened to a cherished piece of sound art written by a queer composer whose work I consider mentorial and a seminal member of the genre. During the listening session, I drew a monochrome formed by the music. We could refer to these monochromes as conversations or mediations, and they allow me to better articulate my practice in queer abstraction. … Drawing 002 from this series is based on the piece, “Alien Bog,” written by Pauline Oliveros in 1967. A sound art pioneer whose life and work is credited with providing awareness of both feminist and queer theory, Oliveros once noted during an interview, “I am also interested in music expanding consciousness. By expanding consciousness, I mean that old patterns can be replaced with new ones.” I will share here that the title of my 2018 solo painting exhibition, “Sonic Opera” was a derivation of Oliveros’ 1969 sound work series, “Sonic Mediations.” … I hope that you will consider forging your own discovery with the work of Oliveros as a way of evolving and reconsidering your own relationship with listening and with sound. An excellent articulation of her career can be found by reading the book, “Sounding Out: Pauline Oliveros and Lesbian Musicality,” written by Martha Mockus, and published by Routledge Press in 2007 ...
